Sum Total • Artist Heidi Axelsen and architect Hugo Moline prove that in the best laid plans, the whole is more than the sum of its parts.

Good People, Good Things • With the majority of projects in Australia being developer-led profit machines, these new multi-res buildings are bucking the trend, putting residents at the centre and making sustainability part of their DNA.

Out Look • For over a century this house has looked inwards, isolated from its stunning surroundings and community, but with some deft additions it now opens to the weather, views and surrounding streetscapes while preserving its wonderful character.

Untangled • Opening up pockets from within, this Melbourne house is teased apart to allow a traditional Victorian double-fronter to breathe.

Cascading Effect • As a successful test case for the owners’ architectural ideas and research, this mountain home provides a cocoon that goes way beyond aesthetics.

Sunnyside Up • Prompted by a child’s interstate move - and a field of native orchids - this home blossoms in the kind of bush and beach setting that Tasmania does best.

Model Mountain • Leveraging involvement and interactivity, and tapping into the desire to make things better, this astonishing project - and building - proves the more you put in, the more you get out.
